Scene From Episode 3

Dilbert is an animated television series spin-off of the comic strip of the same name. The first episode was broadcast on January 25, 1999, making it UPN's highest rated series premier to that point of the network's history; it lasted two seasons on UPN before its cancellation. The first season centered on the creation of a new product, the "Gruntmaster 6000": episodes one through three involved the idea process, (The Name, The Prototype, and The Competition respectively); the fourth (Testing) involved having it survive a malevolent company tester named "Bob Bastard", and the fifth (Elbonian Trip) was about production in the famine-stricken fourth-world country of Elbonia. The product was finally tested by an incredibly stupid family in Squiddler's Patch, Texas, in the thirteenth and final episode of the season, Infomercial, even though it had not been tested in a lab beforehand.
